Sites were great (other than lack of shade in 126), camp hosts were super friendly and helpful. Check-in was smooth and they were also friendly and informative, especially with it being our first time here.

The campsites have good privacy and size. The lake is beautiful. The only complaint is the lack of showers. There are bathrooms with sinks and flush toilets, so showers seem like something that could be added.

Despite being a double lot, it was smaller than many other regular sized lots ive been in. Not many places to park a tent as well, and barely enough room for 3 cars, despite advertized as a 4 car lot.

Kachess is the most wonderful place to get away. Stay up late, break out that ol telescope and look at the stars!! Bring cash, cards are not accepted. This place is amazing and worth the drive from civilization. Our hosts, Ronny and Donna were so sweet and welcoming!
